Chapter 146: The Moon Is Like Water (Part II)
In the south of Shudi, on the official road, a team of thousands of people is marching neither fast nor slow.
Among these thousands of people, there were 100 cavalrymen, patrolling front and back, left and right, protecting thousands of people in the middle, and of course, supervising them in the middle.
The people were either driving the cart or walking, dragging their children and daughters, supporting the old and the young, with tiredness on their faces, but with a little bit of expectation.
The first person in the team, dressed in a cotton robe, with the official uniform exposed at the hem, was Zhang Yuwen.
At this moment, Zhang Yuwen looked solemn.
Compared with his colleagues who participated in the battle, Zhang Yuwen obviously paid more attention to his current task, which was a matter of life and death for 100,000 people, and he really couldn't take it lightly.
According to Wang Hongyi's plan, before the onset of the deep winter this year, 100,000 people will be relocated from the four counties of Longjian to enrich the population of Shu.
This is a good thing in one fell swoop, which can not only solve the problem of the lack of arable land in Longjian, but also enable the development of a large area of land in Shu, and also take the opportunity to reduce the population of Longjian and balance the unstable factors of Longjian.
Zhang Yuwen is a smart person, he saw how much Wang Hongyi attached importance to this matter, so in the past few months, he has been almost busy with this matter, and finally the matter is about to be done.
The 6,000 people he brought back to Shu this time are the last and second batch, and there is another batch that was escorted back to Shu by Xue Yuan, and the two worked together to escort 90,000 people to Shu and settle them properly, just waiting for these two groups of people to arrive in the designated area of Shu and report to the lord Wang Hongyi together.
"Master Zhang, we have arrived at Rolling Dragon Slope, do you want the team to take a break for a while? The people are too tired to walk. A soldier urged the horse to Zhang Yuwen's approach, and said in return.
Zhang Yuwen looked at the sky, a little worried, to rush to the next place before dark, it always takes some strength, and it is time to eat.
"Suspend the march, bury the pot in place to cook, and rest for a while!" Zhang Yuwen said.
"Yes, my lord!" Someone immediately went down to Zhang Luo.
The migrated team was already not far from Shunei, seeing that it was about to go out of the Dragon Sword Realm, and Shuzhong had already been pacified by Wang Hongyi, in this case, Zhang Yuwen naturally did not worry about encountering danger, and his mood was a little refreshing.
When persuading the people to relocate, they did encounter a lot of ups and downs, and even used the army and the Thirteen Divisions, but these things have already passed, just wait to escort these people over, and then wait until Lord Xue returns, the task will be completed.
In this case, Zhang Yuwen naturally would not be in a hurry to go back.
At this time, it was already October, and it was winter, and the people could not bear the speed of the march too much, and even if they were young and strong, the journey was easy to breed diseases.
More than 6,000 people quickly stopped and rested in place.
Zhang Yuwen and the accompanying soldiers also jumped off their horses, and some soldiers went to bury the pot to make rice, and the people except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, the rest of the people also helped.
Zhang Yuwen looked at this scene with a smile on his face.
But soon Zhang Yuwen's face became solemn again.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and in his experience, he was afraid that it was going to rain.
The march in the rain was not a good thing for these people, who were already a little tired.
Due to the limited materials and the huge cost of wartime, the migration was affected, and most of the tents used in the relocation team could not protect against wind and rain.
"Report!" was that while Zhang Yuwen's team stopped to rest, a cavalry came quickly not far away.
Because Zhang Yuwen was sent out to inspect according to custom, seeing his return, Zhang Yuwen couldn't help but stand up.
"Is there something going on?"
"Report! I have detected that there is a caravan coming towards this side in front, and the carriage is planted with the Song family's flag, which should be the Song family's caravan!"
"The Song family's caravan?" Zhang Yuwen was slightly stunned when he heard this.
In Shunei, in the palace secretary's pavilion, Wang Hongyi held a secret report, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In front of Wang Hongyi, there were two men standing, it was Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi.
Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi's official qualities are not high now, six grades, but they are actually prime ministers, and it can be said that Wang Hongyi will not hide from them, nor can he hide them.
These two are also very smart, they can give Wang Hongyi good advice on many things, and what is even more rare is that they will not be pampered and arrogant, and they have a good relationship with many people in private, but in fact, they have a layer of estrangement, and they can be regarded as tactful and not fall into the hands of others.
Such a person, Wang Hongyi is very relieved to use.
Of course, from Wang Hongyi's point of view, these two people are affected by the official atmosphere at night, and they have enough connotation to digest, and gradually, there is a slight change.
is different from Wang Hongyi's rapid transformation, this kind of natal qi change is subtle, not a one-time effort.
"Look at this secret message, both of you. The content of the secret report obviously made Wang Hongyi feel good, and he threw the secret report in his hand to Yu Liangbo in front of him.
Yu Liangbo quickly glanced at the secret report a few times, his face changed slightly, and then handed the secret report to Zhang Youzhi, and the two of them browsed the secret report and couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Lord, the son of the Song family is doing this with good intentions...... This batch of cotton tents will be sent over, and it will be more convenient for the people who are migrating...... The lord is worried that the Song family's move is suspected of buying people's hearts?" Zhang Youzhi's eyes flashed.
"Hehe, it's okay!" At this moment, he heard Yu Liangbo laugh softly.
"The son of the Song family sent the supplies, but it was in the name of the lord, even if he was grateful by the people, this gratitude would eventually fall on the lord. And the Song family is just a person who was ordered to send supplies over, isn't it?" Yu Liangbo's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
Yu Liangbo can see clearly that Song Ziye has made great progress when he returns this time, and after some experience, he still has made progress, and the gaffe when the Song family was destroyed is human nature, and Song Ziye's excellence cannot be wiped out because of this.
At this time, Wang Hongyi's identity is not what it used to be, he is already the lord of Shu, his status is unshakable, and with such a strong in-law, unless Song Ziye is a fool, how can he still blindly disagree with Wang Hongyi?
I am afraid that this move is Song Ziye's gesture to Wang Hongyi and show goodwill.
Yu Liangbo's words made Zhang Youzhi also understand.
But they understand that the surname of this matter is that Wang Hongyi thinks that this is the way it counts.
The two immediately looked at Wang Hongyi on the main seat.
"Not bad, a little bit of growth. Wang Hongyi said slowly casually.
The two of them listened, they both chewed for a while, and immediately weighed out, it seems that only in this matter, Song Ziye is still right, but not all right, even in the name of the lord, this matter is a bit excessive, but in terms of attitude, although it is reckless, it can be understood...... "Yu Liangbo said well, the son of the Song family once told Gu about this, but I didn't expect him to be so generous!" This large number of materials made Wang Hongyi a little moved.
Thinking about this period of time, Wang Hongyi had to admit that he really didn't find any hostility in contact with this eldest brother.
The hostility in the past was inevitably not due to the competition of peers, but now, the gap between the two is heaven and earth, Song Ziye is no longer qualified, and he can't express this attitude to Wang Hongyi, this matter has to make Wang Hongyi sigh.
If you don't mean yourself, this is a good thing after all.
Song Xinyou is a wife, she was born in the Song family, and her eldest son has a continuous blood connection with the Song family.
Seeing that Wang Hongyi finally expressed his position, Yu Liangbo breathed a sigh of relief.
He has a good relationship with the Song family brothers, for him, it's not that there is no way, he really doesn't want to see the Song family arouse suspicion, and what about the eldest son?
"Judging from this secret report, the migration of the people of Longjian is almost over, and in another half a month, these 100,000 people can be relocated to Shu, you two must pay attention to this matter, and you must not let these people lose their lives due to hunger and cold in Shu!" Wang Hongyi no longer mentioned the affairs of the Song family, but instead sent the task of inspector to these two people.
Yu Liangbo and Zhang Yu bowed down at the same time: "The minister obeys the order." ”
At this moment, in Hanzhong City, Fan Liuhai was entertaining Xue Yuan at a small banquet.
The protagonist of this banquet is naturally Xue Yuan, who is about to leave with the last group of displaced people.
The current Xue Yuan, although his official position has been lowered by one level compared to before, but after this matter is completed, I am afraid that it will not be far away to be promoted again.
was originally a little pale, but in the past six months, it has become ruddy, and although his body is thin, he is much healthier.
As the protagonist of this banquet, Xue Yuan had a faint smile on his face and raised his glass frequently.
Xue Yuan's head position was Fan Liuhai, and on the side were some Hanzhong officials.
Fan Liuhai was able to stay in Hanzhong this time, and he was in a very good mood, although this was an external transfer, but as a general, he was different from a civilian official, and there were a few generals who were willing to stay in Fucheng in peace, but they were just patrolling and doing things in Pingyueli?
Fighting on the battlefield and seizing the merits of the war, this side is the volunteering of the generals!
Hanzhong County covers a very large area, because it is adjacent to the Guanzhong area of Qindi, and there are more plain areas, among the four counties of Longjian, Hanzhong County is the richest county.
The cultivated land area is even broader than that of the other three counties, which is why in these four counties, only Zhong Wendao of Hanzhong dared to argue with Wang Hongyi, and everything was caused by strength.
The county town of Hanzhong County is not worse than several large cities in Shu, although the population in the city is slightly small due to the previous migration, but there are still a lot of merchants who come and go, just the tariff, it is a lot of money.
To be a general in such a place, and to be able to look at Shangyong and Guannei at any time, for Fan Liuhai, this is a signal for the lord to reuse.
But for Xue Yuan, Fan Liuhai is still a little envious, no matter how hard he works, he can't be regarded as the first batch of Conglong, Xue Yuan has been an official before, but the lord is still willing to give Xue Yuan this opportunity to be himself, what could it be?
The affection between the monarch and the minister is really important.
At the end of the banquet, when Fan Liuhai sent Xue Yuan out, he was still thinking about it, and secretly made up his mind that he would do better, although he couldn't compare to Xue Yuan, but he always had a certain advantage over the people who surrendered to Wang Hongyi in the future.
Looking up, the sky was gloomy, and the rain was crackling.
"It's coming, it's almost the first snow of the year. Fan Liuhai sighed slightly, thoughtful in his heart.
